misandry

A related concept is androphobia, the fear of men, but not necessarily hatred of them. Sometimes confused with misanthropy (â€œhatred of humanityâ€).

Origin

Formed in the late 19th century as mis- (â€œhatredâ€) +â€Ž -andry (â€œmenâ€) by analogy with misogyny; compare the Ancient Greek Î¼Î¹ÏƒÎ±Î½Î´ÏÎ¯Î± (misandria), from Î¼Î¹ÏƒÎ­Ï‰ (miseÅ, â€œhateâ€) + á¼€Î½Î®Ï (anÄ“r, â€œmanâ€).
